When the Utah grandparents came, we went on another trip to the cemetery.
Sylvia brought her stuffed horse.
When Sylvia saw this headstone she said, "I think a horse is buried here!"
At the top of the little hill with the flagpole on it.
This is one of my favorite graves.
The cutest grave was that of a little boy. It had child size benches around it and even a box of tissues. Isabel and Sylvia sat and fake cried for a while.
This last week the California Grandparents came to visit! Here is a paper towel garden we made!...don't ask.
Feeding the giraffes at the zoo is always a big hit!
Hazel with her grandpa!
The day before, grandpa had just given Luke and Isabel a little lesson on South America. At the zoo there is a "South American" section. Here they are looking at the blank map and naming the countries.
Jane Goodall was at the zoo! She was there as a speaker. She talked about how even when she was a little girl she knew she wanted to go to Africa and study animals and people would laugh at her "unrealistic" dream.
The cemetery is always a big hit too. Joey and I decided that the reason why we love this cemetery is that anything goes as far as what you can put up on the graves. One of our favorite graves has a huge bench with solar lights. It is also decorated with cute little trinkets. Here are some farm animals Hazel loved.
Friday we visited the Gila Valley Temple.
Before a temple is dedicated, everyone who wants to is invited to come and take a tour.
The tour was a perfect length and overview of what temples are all about.
It is a beautiful temple and was a beautiful day to spend together as a family!
